Annual Public Health Report 2007-08

Monday 29 June 2009

This report focuses on the different elements that inform our understanding of health needs in Lambeth, helping us to set priorities and agree the health outcomes which reflect these.

Lambeth is a place with high levels of health need, reflecting many different health issues including poor mental health, disability and premature mortality. There are significant inequalities between health in Lambeth and health in other parts of London and England and Wales. There are however now a number of areas where health is improving (these include teenage pregnancy, childhood immunisation and cancer mortality). The PCT and its partners are investing resources in improving health, and have made Staying Healthy one of the strategic priorities over the next five years. The focus of the Sustainable Community Strategy on worklessness provides an important opportunity to improve health and wellbeing for local residents.
